KARACHI (September 22, 2025): Gold prices in Pakistan have climbed to a historic peak, with rates per tola soaring by Rs3,400 in a single day.

According to the All Pakistan Gems and Jewelers Association, the price of one tola of gold has now reached Rs393,700, while the price of 10 grams rose by Rs2,915 to settle at Rs337,534.

The surge comes in tandem with a global rally. In the international market, gold jumped by $17, reaching a record $3,685 per ounce.

Analysts point out that gold traditionally strengthens during periods of inflation, political uncertainty, and economic instability, making it a preferred safe-haven investment. For centuries, investors have turned to gold when other assets appear risky, a trend that seems to be repeating now.

It is worth mentioning that last year Pakistan revised its gold pricing mechanism, linking domestic rates to $20 above the international market price. This change has further tied local fluctuations to global movements, intensifying the impact of international shifts on Pakistani buyers.
